you go to school is a college town. you know that there are 2000students enrolled in the school, but you don't know the populati

on of the town, (without students). you walk up and down the main streets of the town, stop people, and ask them if they are studenys or not you ask 100 people, and 60 of them say they are students. Estimate the nonstudent population of the town

If you ask 100 people and 60 say they are students, then you would assume that 60/100 people in town as a whole are students.  To estimate the non-student population, you would infer that the other 40 are not students, thus making the non-student to student ratio 40:60 or 2:3 when simplified.  This means that for every 2 non-students, there are 3 students.  If we multiply 2000 by this 2:3 ratio, we would see that 2/3*2000 = the non-student population.The non-student population is estimated at 1,333.

What is the effect on the graph of the function f(x) = 2x when f(x) is replaced with f(0.5x)? A) vertical stretching B) vertical
PtichkaEL [24]
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Option: D

Horizontal stretching.

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

We have to find the effect on the graph of the function f(x)=2x when it is replaced by f(0.5 x).

We know that when a parent function f(x) is replaced by f(kx) then either the graph is stretched horizontally or shrinked horizontally.

if k>1 then the graph is shrinked horizontally.

if k<1 then the graph is stretched horizontally.

Hence here k=0.5<1 so the graph of the function is stretched horizontally.

BlackZzzverrR [31]
Hey! If 27 cars make up 60%, divide that by 6 to get 10% of the answer which is 4.5. Multiply 4.5 by 10 to get 100% which is 45 cars for 100%.

A machine that fills beverage cans is supposed to put 12 ounces of beverage in each can. The standard deviation of the amount in
erica [24]

Answer:

\chi^2 =\frac{10-1}{0.0144} 0.0217 =13.54

The degrees of freedom are:

df=n-1=10-1=9

Now we can calculate the p value using the alternative hypothesis:

p_v =2*P(\chi^2 >13.54)=0.279

Since the p value is higher than the signficance level assumed of 0.05 we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and there is no evidence to conclude that the true deviation differs from 0.12 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following data:"12.14 12.05 12.27 11.89 12.06

12.14 12.05 12.38 11.92 12.14"

We can calculate the sample deviation with this formula:

s =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

n=10 represent the sample size

\alpha=0.05 represent the confidence level  

s^2 =0.0217 represent the sample variance

\sigma^2_0 =0.12^2= 0.0144 represent the value to verify

Null and alternative hypothesis

We want to determine whether the standard deviation differs from 0.12 ounce, so the system of hypothesis would be:

Null Hypothesis: \sigma^2 = 0.0144

Alternative hypothesis: \sigma^2 \neq 0.0144

The statistic can be calculated like this;

\chi^2 =\frac{n-1}{\sigma^2_0} s^2

\chi^2 =\frac{10-1}{0.0144} 0.0217 =13.54

The degrees of freedom are:

df=n-1=10-1=9

Now we can calculate the p value using the alternative hypothesis:

p_v =2*P(\chi^2 >13.54)=0.279

Since the p value is higher than the signficance level assumed of 0.05 we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and there is no evidence to conclude that the true deviation differs from 0.12 ounces

A soccer team played 160 games and won 65 percent of them. How many games did it win ? Please show work
galben [10]
To find the percent of games the soccer team won, you would do 160 multiplied by 0.65, because if you were to convert the 65% into a decimal, you would get 0.65. Notice the key word, "of". This refers to multiplication. So when doing 160*0.65, you get 104 games won. Therefore the soccer team won 104 of their games.

Hope this helps! :D Feel free to ask more questions, or ask me questions about my explanation.
